THE CHALLENGE
Wind turbine planet bearings are difficult to detect early using vibration systems, but make up a majority of all gearbox failures. Operators need earlier warning of planet bearing faults and end of life management.
THE SOLUTION
Yatkes YOW Online Oil Sensor for Wind Turbine Gearbox
Key Benefits:
- Detects, sizes, and classifies (ferrous vs. nonferrous) metallic particles
- Provides real-time, online asset health information
- Reduces unscheduled downtime of wind turbines
- Minimized repair costs through early detection
- Maximizes operating life of gearbox
- Detects faults missed by borescoping and vibration analysis
- Evaluates the impact of derating on wear generation rates
Specially designed for monitoring on wind turbine gearboxes. Real-time detection the number of wear particles(Fe particles and Non-Fe particles),viscosity, density, water activity, moisture content and temperature of wind turbine gearbox oils.
